Sedona Arts – Sculptor Ken Rowe debuts “Bull Market”

Tlaquepaque Arts & Crafts Village
The Art and Soul of Sedona”

When it comes to exploring the world of art in Sedona, the Talquepaque Arts & Crafts Village is the place to be. The year of 2011 will be no exception, Ken Rowe, world-renowned wildlife sculptor and co-owner of Rowe Fine Art Gallery, debuts his latest pre-cast sculpture, “Bull Market,” during the Sedona Gallery Association’s 1st Friday Gallery Tour on January 7th from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.

“It’s a new year and a new bounty awaits us all. “We think it’s time that 2010’s bear market go into hibernation so the bull market of 2011 can take charge. I’m not one for sculpting a literal interpretation of anything related to Wall Street, so my newest sculpture is my depiction of a wild version of the bull market.” – Ken Rowe

The bronze sculpture features a bull and cow moose in the wild. The edition is limited to only 35, and the never-before-seen clay model will be on display starting Friday evening. Wine and pizza from New York Pizza and Deli will be served. Rowe Fine Art Gallery is located upstairs in Patio de las Campanas near the bell tower.
